Reading as a Writer!

Middle school ELA is about transitioning to reading and writing for specific purposes. Reading and writing become the foundations of other subjects, especially in high school and beyond. We will be exploring things as readers that we hope to emulate in our writing. We will analyze not just WHAT authors do, but also WHY authors make the choices they do. We will problem solve and make connections and think beyond a piece of text. We will also push ourselves to write more than we thought possible. Together we will support each other as growing readers and writers.
